You say you want to make it rhy-ming Well you know - That's the really easy part
But when it comes down to the ti-ming Well clearly you have no idea (and couldn't buy one if you won the lottery) That it helps if you know what a syllable is and how to get roughly the right number on each line so that it sounds at least a bit like the original.

Yes we have no bananas

They've all been infected
We're feelling dejected

Our culture's all so mono,

That sounds like a great use for all the nukes on earth.
Are you saying that by simulataneously discharging the totality of our weaponry we could harness the energy for interplanetary travel?
I am genuinely descended from the ecosystem, therefore I'm congenitally predisposed to live in a natural state. I could reach such an altitude that I would wish to be immortal!
Even if you buy the stuff you still have to tolerate ads saying you need it.
Unless the ads are for earplugs and eyeshades.

You chose the wrong tool. When going through the desert, you should ride an anonymous equine creature. You'll enjoy the dry weather. Be sure to make a note of your personal details and keep it safe, as a lack of external hostility may provoke amnesia.
One more heart that was stopped. Two more eyes that will never see. Two more hands that will never touch. Two more legs that will never run. One more mouth that will never speak.
It's one more kid that'll never go to school That'll never fall in love never get to be coooo-oool.

Bloody great fishes are Wales.
They swim in the sea,
